Artist No. 4: Rosie Thomas

The Deal: The folk-pop songstress is best known for her delicate ballads, which meld the modern indie elements of Ida and Low with classic singer-songwriter influences such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. The Seattle-based Thomas recently collaborated with pal Sufjan Stevens on her new album, called 'These Friends of Mine.' The folky yet wide-ranging tracks were recorded in Stevens' apartment, which afforded Thomas the leisure of recording at her own pace.

Fun Fact: When she's not being an earnest troubadour, she performs stand-up comedy as her nerdy alter ego Sheila Saputo.

Sounds Like: An indie-folk Joni Mitchell with a sense of humor
